Commentary by R. Ferrar:

Under this tomb the matchless Digby lies,Digby the great, the valiant, and the wise!The age's wonder, for his noble parts,Skilled in six tongues, and learn'd in all the arts:Born on the day he died, the 11th of June,And that day bravely fought at Scanderoon;It's rare that one and the same day should beHis day of birth, of death, of victory!
